It's better to create another signal (e.g. sigNext) in the first dialog 
(class_1) and connect the button's signal (clicked) to your signal in 
class_1's constructor:

connect( myButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SIGNAL(sigNext()) ); 

Now you can connect the dialogs signal to the second dialogs show-slot in 
your main-function.

Something general: I don't know what your application does, but it sounds 
like a wizard-like program (like the wizard you create a new project in 
KDevelop with). We have much better ways to implement this. You should take a 
look at the classes KWizard/QWizard. 
To learn more about KDE2-programing I recommend the book "KDE 2 development". 
At 
	http://kde20development.andamooka.org
you may order it or take a look in the online-HTML-version. You should take a 
look at chapter 8 ("Using dialog boxes").
